Mantis

Mantis is a cross-chain trading platform in the DeFAI category, combining decentralized finance execution with AI agent interfaces. M is its token, and the project operates across Solana, Ethereum, and other networks.

How Mantis works

The platform's stated features include feeless, MEV-resistant swaps executed across multiple chains, paired with customisable AI agents that let users express what they want in natural language rather than constructing transactions manually. Its Type and Trade interface is built on this idea: a user describes an intended trade or condition, and the system determines the routing and execution required. The project describes a proprietary language model, referred to as DISE, at the core of this capability, supporting personalised agents, conditional orders, and collaborative vault strategies.

This approach falls under the intent-based model that has gained traction in DeFi, where a user specifies a desired outcome and solvers compete to fulfil it, rather than the user specifying the exact path themselves. That structure can improve execution and reduce exposure to value extraction, since solvers compete on the result delivered.

M has a maximum supply of 100 million tokens, and the entire supply is issued and in circulation.

Role in the ecosystem

DeFAI combines two active narratives, and projects in the category vary widely in how much of their AI component is substantive versus presentational. The practical questions for any such platform are the same as for other trading interfaces: execution quality, the range of chains and venues supported, and whether the natural language layer reliably produces the transaction the user intended.
